Restart the Gaming Era

New week.

In the morning, everyone is here.

I'm not in the development stage yet, I just look at the online reviews of the "Working Dog Survival Manual" and then do some simple optimization work.

It's one thing to read a review, which makes people happy overall, but sometimes quite disturbing.

For the designers of many gold games, reviews are definitely not going to be watched, and they will only listen to the praise of those gold players in the fan base.

why?

Because the comments outside are basically scolded, it is not disturbing enough to read.

There is also a lot of optimization work.

For some large teams, the project is the busiest before going online. Even after there are many things that need to be modified, it is a lot of leisure.

Because the big team's online is often deadline stuck, in order to go online smoothly, you must work overtime crazy. After going online, although there are a lot of content to be changed, after all, there are many people. You can share it a little, I can share it a little, and it can be changed on schedule.

However, the independent game team is different. There is no clear deadline when developing, and the staff is not enough. It is because the game is almost ready. But after going on, there will definitely be various problems, players will put forward various opinions, etc. There are a lot of things to be changed, and it is very urgent.

Of course, the players are playing!

However, the independent game team is often underpopulated. As soon as the game is online, various problems and bugs are identified by the players, and they have to work overtime crazy.

"Working Dog Survival Manual" does not have so many bugs, but after all, there are two procedures in total. Zhou Sen and Dahui Brother are not gods, and it is inevitable that there is a mistake. So at this stage, I am busy doing subsequent optimization work.

As for Zhong Ming, she was looking at the recruitment website, and she looked a little bit big.

Jiang Wanna glanced: "Are we going to recruit someone?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "It's still under consideration. But at this point in time, I'm afraid we can't find anything suitable, just look ahead."

It's November. If you want to recruit people, it's best to wait for years.

Because most of the more powerful employees are waiting for a job change after receiving the year-end award.

When it comes to recruiting people, Zhong Ming has a headache.

If you don't want to interview everyone one by one, it's best to find a HR, but the problem is that Niubi's HR works in a large company and generally doesn't jump to a small company.

It can also be understood that the HR industry is definitely the larger the company and the more room it can play. Like many HR who can play the role of political commissar in giant companies, it is called the pinnacle of life.

When I go to a small company, I may recruit a few people every year to finish the job, and I will paddle at other times. Of course, generally capable HRs are unwilling to come.

If the general HR does not have experience, qualifications are not enough, and people are not allowed, letting these HRs be responsible for recruiting talents that can satisfy Zhong Ming. Maybe you have to go to the battle yourself. The result is still the same. HR might as well not find.

Zhong Ming said with emotion: "Or else, dig a few more from the original project? It is the most reliable to know the roots and save the interview process. You can call Zhang Xiaowen to do miscellaneous work."

Brother Dahui joyfully said, "What about the idea of ​​Lao Xie? At that time, the" Learning the Sea "project has been hollowed out. You see that Director Bai has to come to you with a knife."

"Hey, you can't say that. Lightwing has a lot of talents, what if one or two are taken away?"

Zhong Ming thinks before and after, recruiting is still settled in the new year, it is more secure.

It is not impossible to recruit now, but if it is not suitable, it will be a waste of time to delay the original research and development progress.

From November to February, just make time to make another game. After you finish, take a break, change office location, recruit people, and the Microlight Studio can logically move on to the next stage.

After all, this time, it will definitely not be less, there may be a dozen people in the entire studio. More than a dozen individuals were all crowded in the living room, which must be outrageous.

Therefore, Zhong Ming considered making another game.

Of course, considering the current number of studios, it is still an independent game.

I went to Weibo and looked at some chat groups.

Suddenly, Zhong Ming saw a news and got some interest.

Global Game Art Concept Contest!

English abbreviation, GGAC, first prize in the professional group, 1.8 million bonus! The second and third prizes are 500,000 and 200,000 prizes respectively!

The judges are the main designers and main artists of some large companies, all of whom are relatively well-known in the industry in this world. The titles are all "senior designers", "co-founders", "artists", "art directors" Category.

There are also many partners in this competition, including well-known game companies, art schools of some famous universities, and even the calligraphy association and painting association.

Moreover, it is said that it is a global game art concept competition, in fact, it is mainly oriented to the Chinese cultural circle.

Although there are western designers and fine arts in the judges, there are only one or two people. Called the Global Game Art Competition, mainly because it is so nice.

As for the benefits after winning the prize, there are quite a few.

The first is a bonus, 1.8 million is not too much, but for Zhong Ming and their studio, that is a lot of extra money, why not earn it?

Followed by fame and word of mouth. This competition is not a pheasant competition. Both the judges and partners are very famous. To win prizes in such competitions, maybe the exposure in the player group is not great, but the exposure in the industry is certainly not small!

The last is contacts.

The gaming industry is a relatively closed industry. Outsiders don't know much about people in this industry, and they may also know some of the big-name game companies. However, people in the game industry value these more.

For example, Zhong Ming wants to dig up a fine arts bull. It ’s hard to just blow yourself up. That ’s not good, and people ca n’t verify it; Shooting it out is enough to prove that your studio is powerful and promising!

What's more, there are many industry insiders as judges in this competition, and there are also many talents appreciated by Zhong Ming. If you can take this opportunity to know a few, not to mention digging now, at least add a friend, and talk about cooperation in the future, it will be a lot easier.

Zhong Ming opened the details page of the contest, keep watching.

Jiang Wanna tilted her head: "Huh? Isn't this GGAC?"

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, I plan to participate."

"Uh ... are you sure? If I remember correctly, the election will end tomorrow ..."

Zhong Ming froze: "Ha?"

He turned the page of the contest down to the promotion and selection rules section.

"Submission of Elections: September 1 to November 15"

"Participants must submit the concept draft of the work or the demo of the work to the email address of the contest ~ www.readwn.com ~ November 13th. The works that provide the demo will be selected first. Those who fail to provide the demo and only provide the concept draft need to submit on I rushed to the scene two days on the 15th to review the on-site inquiry and advance the work into the next round. "

Zhong Ming looked at the calendar.

"... Isn't it the 12th today ????" Zhong Ming looked stern.

Jiang Wanna nodded: "Yes, so strictly speaking, you still have a day and a half to produce a design concept draft, and you need to fly to the competition site on Wednesday."

Zhong Ming: "..."

Jiang Wanna is a bit strange: "Uh, this competition actually started in September, haven't you seen it ... I don't think you are interested in this competition at all."

Zhong Ming: "Stop saying ..."
